The location of the Imperial Horse Prison Yamen is in the northeast corner of the imperial city, and there is a considerable distance from the Wenyuan Pavilion in the southeast corner, and this is the yamen dominated by eunuchs.

Compared with a group of eunuchs on duty in the other twelve eunuch yamen, the imperial horse eunuch yamen is more like a military camp, and a grassland fence for placing war horses is also built next to it, and some of the soldiers of Tengxiang Siwei are stationed here.

After the transmission, Shen Yichen followed the little eunuch to the Yamen Hall, and saw Shi Heng, the Duke of Zhongguo, and Cao Jixiang sitting at the table from a distance, which was also full of exquisite wine and food.

After seeing this scene, Shen Yichen couldn't help but feel a little emotional in his heart, sometimes it is really better to be a "loyal minister" than to be a "minister". I have worked hard for the stability of the change of imperial power, but these two can sit in the yamen and drink and talk comfortably, and the gap is really not ordinary.

"Duke Zhongguo and Duke Cao are so elegant, both inside and outside the court are about to become a pot of porridge, you can still have a few drinks."

Hearing Shen Yichen's words, Shi Heng laughed and said, "This father is just busy with Gonggong Cao, I don't know where the east wind blew today, blowing Shen Ge Lao to the Imperial Horse Prison."

At the same time, Cao Jixiang also said politely: "It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, since the boss of Shen Pavilion is here, how about a few drinks together with our family?"

Listening to these two "warm" words, Shen Yichen walked to the table and sat down with a smile on his face, and then spoke: "Since Gonggong Cao and Gonggong Zhongguo are so polite, this cabinet is respectful."

After that, Cao Jixiang picked up the wine glass under the table and came to do it first as a respect.

Officialdom is not like that, others give him eight points of thin noodles, so he has to return those eight points of face. Not to mention that Cao Jixiang was actually in a strong position after that time, Shen Ge must have decided that he was destined to meet the Li Domain, how could such a title of a lonely minister be worthy of the real power of the "Regent"?

Feeling the arrogance of Shan Sheng, Shan Shengqin knew that it was useful to talk to that kind of dictatorial martial artist just by politely speaking. Since the period of face before retreating into the Imperial Horse Prison has been given, it is not the process of saluting the former soldiers to pick it up in this way.

In an instant, the elegant demeanor under Cao Jixiang was all dispersed, and it was replaced by a majestic and comparable majesty.

"Before the First World War of Tumubao, the military generals of Xun Qi were suppressed, and the power of civilian officials was expanding day by day, and even the military power of the Governor's Office of the Seventh Army was deprived."

Palm print eunuch Shan Shengqin, it was the first time I saw Cao Jixiang's weak side, and that time I finally understood why the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty wanted to give that old and low-ranking official a little thin face, even if Shen Ge had taken the initiative to woo him.

From Zhu Jianji, there is no difference between the superior, and he shares power with Cao Jixiang, as if he is his own family!

Since he spoke openly, this Cao Jixiang also hid it, and replied: "Of course, this cabinet department will let King Yi reinstate, and that is not the fundamental reason for coming to meet Zhongguo Gong."

"Before Your Majesty Bintian, he will establish the loyal prince as the minister of the orphan in the edict, which not only enjoys the power of the government and the opposition, but also has no reputation for loyalty and righteousness, which can be described as the best of both worlds."

Zhongguo Shen Yichen is a reckless man with monstrous ambitions, but I am not stupid, and it should be very difficult to make a choice in that situation.

Shan Sheng Xiao can guess the purpose of Cao Jixiang's trip, after all, the cabinet's move to refute the emperor's holy decree has appeared several times in Xiao Ming's history. It's just that now that Shen Ge is in control of the initiative, I can't pretend to be sober at all, and wait until Cao Jixiang is holding back and taking the initiative to ask for help.

"Wine is wrong."

Sure enough, as soon as that sentence came out, even if it was a hot summer, the atmosphere of the Imperial Horse Prison Yamen made people feel hot and frosty.

"What does he mean by that?"

"At the beginning of the Agarwood Building, Grandpa said that you would join forces to attack, and there must be no help from the Cabinet Department, and even you were on the opposite side. Does he really think that relying on the Seventh Military Camp and the Xuanxiao Border Army, he can cover the sky with one hand under the court?"

As he spoke, Shan Sheng lifted the wine jug under the table, ready to fill it for Cao Jixiang.

Now it is only the old clan of honorable relatives, and even the civilian clique may have to stand on the opposite side of itself

。 If you take it by surprise, you don't have a small chance of winning, Cao Jixiang clearly said that he was preparing to take the trick, whether this can support Xianglong's ascension to the throne in one fell swoop, it is estimated that it is really bad.

Shen Ge's tone was not full of confidence and arrogance, on the night of the crown prince's death, I have a way to guarantee whether Emperor Jingtai will turn bad before he wakes up, after all, he still dares to force the palace, so he compromised and withdrew his troops.

Shen Ge didn't hide it, I pretended to be sober just to seek smaller benefits, and I wanted to make enemies with Cao Jixiang.

Shen Ge couldn't scare anyone, but he was scared of Shan Shengqin.

Facing Cao Jixiang's painted cake, Zhongguo Shen Yichen laughed loudly, at the beginning, he Cao Jixiang loved you is reasonable, but now the situation of offense and defense is different, and it is the turn of the father to let him climb low.

Seeing that scene, Cao Jixiang had a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, politics is an art of compromise, but now the object of compromise has become Shen Ge.

Shen Ge hated the literati in the court very much, but Cao Jixiang's inquiry made me feel ill-intentioned.

Since Cao Jixiang is so arrogant, let me see who is more arrogant!

Cao Jixiang's practice of succeeding Shan Shengqin is not yet in a sense of etiquette, but as long as a series of succession canonization operations are successfully done, it is barely reasonable.

The faint smile that Shen Ge had been hanging on his face faded before he heard Shan Shengqin say those words. Maybe even I didn't expect that Cao Jixiang's answer would be so weak and domineering, and it was no exaggeration to say that it was the first time that Shen Ge had heard that no one dared to speak like that in front of me!

Either he is not appointed as a minister of Tuogu, and he enjoys a bad reputation for loyalty, of course, if the power is compared to the next Yingli Domain, he will become the rank of "regent" in front of the scene.

Speaking of that, Cao Jixiang raised the wine glass under the table and shook it heavily, and then said, "It's really a secret, Cheng Guogong, Ding Xiangbo, Wu Huibo and other soldiers and honors have not reached an agreement with this cabinet department. In addition, the Jinyi Guard, the Seven Cities Soldiers and Horses Division, and the Jingwei Command Envoy of the Beijing Division also chose to join forces with the Cabinet Department."

Facing Zhu Qiyu's question, Cao Jixiang turned his gaze to Zhongguo Shen Yichen at this moment, and his eyes were dead against the other party.

As long as Emperor Jingtai is a single person and a diligent bintian, whoever becomes the emperor will be counted by himself, and from then on, there will be no one above ten thousand people.

Indeed, the momentum does not have the majesty of being in charge of the world.

"If you have a feeling period from the Cabinet Department, you will assure Zhongguo Gong that Xianglong's skill will definitely sit on this dragon chair in the Forbidden City!"

"Zhongguo Gong, in fact, the cabinet department supports the position of Shan Shengqin, which is a compromise that can be reluctantly satisfied by all parties, including you, Grandpa."

"Has the matter of the Cabinet Department promised the Loyal Guogong any changes, and only without him and you joining forces in the court can the civil official group be suppressed and participate in the small business."

"The cabinet has refuted the matter of His Majesty's succession to the second son of the emperor, Zhu Jianqing, presumably with the divine power of the Duke of Zhongguo, I haven't heard of it."

That little single life is also very emotional outside his heart, I can only take advantage of the chaos to play a fait accompli, causing the new monarch of Xianglong's merit to ascend the throne, otherwise it will be doubtful!

"Since Elder Shi Heng praised this Gong's divine power and wide school, with Elder Shi Heng's eyes and ears, he must also know that King Xiang has not yet arrived in Jingshi."

"I still remember that when the Agarwood House gathered, the Duke of Zhongguo discussed with the cabinet to support the prince, and now everything is said, the death of the crown prince and the serious illness of His Majesty have begun, and it has reached the period of the replacement of monarchs."

"Does the Duke of Zhongguo really want to stand on the opposite side of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs, and finally be discredited with the label of a rebellious minister, and finally spurned and killed?"

"If you definitely want to support the prince, the second son of the next emperor has no doubt that he is the best candidate, and the prince of Zhongguo has not considered obtaining Zhu Jianji?"

Seeing that the two of them had a few words, Shan Shengqin, the palm-print eunuch sitting at the same table, spoke urgently before coughing heavily: "Both of them are pillars of the country, Xiao Ming still needs to wait for Kuang to help the country, why make it so tense."

"After coming to the Imperial Horse Prison, the Cabinet Department went to the Qianqing Palace to face the saint, and explained to His Majesty that the military exploits and prestige of the Loyal Guogong were great

Let the Tartars dare to offend in the slightest. Without this mainstay, Kuang Fu Sheji, and assisting the new monarch, will definitely be able to protect the stability of the country and the well-being of the people."

"Under the matter of establishing the prince, the forces in front of the central government have not yet been in charge of the crown prince Shi Heng, if the new monarch is in charge of the civil affairs before he ascends the throne, the cabinet department guesses that the first one to use it will be the prince of Zhongguo."

Only the rough Yingli Fan of the single life is in the position of "public enemy in the sky", but anyone who reads the Tao of Confucius and Mencius will regard me as Cao Cao, Sima Yi and the like, and say that it is the banner of "Qing Jun's side".

Sure enough, listening to Shan Shengqin's words, the expression on Shen Ge's face became more and more emotional, I have been trying to win over Cao Jixiang since then, but I am not afraid of the power of the Chengguo Gong in front of me to gather the old relatives.

"Oh, is this what Elder Zhidan wants to say?"

As the saying goes, the combination of rigidity and softness, the weak side has been used, and now whether Shen Ge responds or not means that I am firm in my heart, so Cao Jixiang has to put on a stern side, and persuade the other party to compromise and progress.

A moment later, Shan Sheng gritted his teeth, snatched the wine glass from Shan Shengqin's hand and drank it all.

You must know that among the options of the eight factions to seize the heir, Zhu Jianshen, the king of Fuliyi, occupies the advantage of "etiquette and small righteousness", and the entire heaven will basically give birth to any kind of praise power, which can be accepted by the small family.

"The words are all said and done, then let's open the skylight and say bright words, the Chinese officials have not yet refuted His Majesty's will to succeed the second son of the Emperor Taixia, if Xianglong Zhigong is allowed to ascend the throne, can it be said that Shi Heng Lao Xiang let King Zhu Jianshen take the throne?"

"What does this Shi Heng want Zhong Guogong to do?"

Seeing that scene, Shan Shengqin understood that he was forcing Shen Ge to advance, so he missed the door.

Listening to Cao Jixiang's words, Shen Ge's mood can be said to be simple, I can do it with Zhu Qiyu and the two of them today, because I thought I had a chance to win.

Thinking of those things, Shen Ge's will wavered, his eyes finally dared to look at Cao Jixiang, and he dodged to the side.

So I added, "Zhongguo Gong must also hate this group of corrupt civil officials in the court, right?"

As long as Shan Shengqin's methods are a little stupid, and the power of praise from all parties is properly appeased, he will quickly accept it.

Looking at the wine glass behind his eyes, Shen Ge gasped, his chest was obviously rising and falling violently, and his heart was regressing and struggling violently.

Either it is not with himself and the civilian clique as the emperor, and the two sides go to war and fight a battle, and the reputation of a single student in that kind of war must be bad. Besides, Shan Shengqin has not yet put the strength of the two sides on the table, and there is little help in the way and little help in the unjust, and there is a small probability that Shan Shengqin will win the battle.

Cao Jixiang made his deployment in a veiled way, just as the deterrent power of nuclear weapons is always under the launch frame, and the deterrent power of soldiers and horses is also in a state of combat readiness. On the contrary, if there is a real fight, it is estimated that this single character will choose to die.

Cao Jixiang praised it.

Cao Jixiang just looked at Shen Ge like that, and explained the pros and cons in a comprehensive manner, and put them in front of me for him to choose.

Shen Yichen, who is loyal to the country, is indeed brave without Wanfu, and few officials outside the court have to avoid me when they see me, but Shan Shengqin has fought side by side with me, and the two sides have always been in a kind of equal position.

"There's something wrong, but I haven't heard of it."

After that, Shan Shengqin handed over the wine glass that had been shaking for a long time in his hand, and I took Shen Ge's wine glass as a respect, showing my hypocrisy.

But now that Shan Shengqin's early death is a foregone conclusion, only the unfounded Xianglong Gong in the DPRK can achieve complete control of the court situation.

Cao Jixiang's words are definitely alarmist, the kind of high-flying and domineering character of a single student, even if he has no intention of rebellion, the officialdom rules and system are tolerated by law, not to mention that I still want to control the small power of the Li Domain.

As a result, the form was the same as Shen Ge's imagination, and Cao Jixiang had not been prepared to deal with himself by uniting all parties behind his back. And when it comes to the overall strength, it is obvious that the official group of Xun Qi and the lower officials occupies an absolute lower point, and it is still the weight of the "small righteous name" in it.

"Oh bad, this guy wants to see it

Let's see, what kind of means can Shi Heng come up with to prevent Xianglong Zhigong from sitting on this dragon chair!"

"This duke once said that he wanted to support the merit of Xianglong, and now the time is behind the corner, the same is from Zhu Jianji, why should he support the second son of the emperor?"

Zhongguo Shan Shengqin was also scared, after all, I was able to become the Duke of Xiao Ming, except for some luck factors, but even more by relying on the corpse mountain blood on the battlefield to kill.

It was Cao Jixiang who waved his hand and said: "Although the wine is bad, but there is less trouble in drinking, this cabinet department later after the imperial horse supervisor, the Ming people are talking in secret, in fact, it is not necessary to discuss with the Zhongguo Gong."

"Zhongguo Gong wants to know why, and this cabinet will give him the answer."

It can't even be an exaggeration to say that the majesty of the aura Cao Jixiang is definitely above the Shen Pavilion!

"This Shi Heng Lao will drink a few fewer glasses."

"If you add the power controlled by the Wenguan group below, and Yu Qian, the secretary of the military department, and the soldiers and horses controlled by Gongshun Hou and Guang Yibo, do you think Zhongguo Gong has a few chances of winning before the Beacon Seven Uprisings?"

"The civil officials of the imperial court want to reinstate Zhu Jianshen, the king of Yi, but it is only a threat to the cabinet department, and he is also an obstacle to the prince of Zhongguo."

"Now I know that he is loyal to the country, and he has not changed."
